I've been backpacking around the world since September, taking volunteer positions in Israel, Jordan and Morocco. I like not to plan my life more than a month in advance. I like theoretical questions such as 'what animal do you want to be reincarnated into and why?' But I'm also capable of being more serious. I think one of the best ways to learn about yourself and human nature is to simply have conversations with other people and observe your own feelings throughout the conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a platform built on trust and the philosophy that you will do the same for others as you would want to be done for yourself. Staying with other people that you've never met before can build potent, yet short lived relationships. This can help you learn things about yourself and spread knowledge and wisdom to other people you stay with or host as well.

Interests

I love being outside, whether it's hiking, playing frisbee or just exploring cities on foot, getting sun everyday is something that's very important to me. I do some photography just for fun to see what I can create. I also like cleaning your kitchen to be nice (seriously it gives me pleasure to do so), listening to music (sometimes singing along) and funny youtube videos that usually involve talking animals. I'm also an avid tree climber, and a meme expert..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm sure the most amazing thing has yet to come. I have been on top of a mountain in a lightning storm though..

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an expansive knowledge of fun animal facts (ex. Kangaroos can't jump backwards). I realllyy like to cook Shakshuka (a middle eastern dish: Sautéed onions and peppers, grated tomatoes and eggs poached in the tomatoes).. unfortunately I don't travel with a frying pan, but if you have one of these I can ABSOLUTELY cook it for you!! Also I do a little bit of photography, and I can make motorcycle noises with my mouth! I like to practice language and help teach people english. I'm learning Spanish right now, but also it never hurts to know how to say "Where can I purchase exotic animals?" In any language really, so I can definitely help you practice english if you just teach me how to say this in your language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots and lots of stories.. Shakshuka.. And I'm always ready to play frisbee! I can share knowledge from my life, both technical and philosophical.
